JMS/MN I am not sure where to start. I never said that those ethanol/corn fields were not productive, nor would there be any left overs, what you call DDGS. I grew up with 1000 beef cows. I know something about feeding them. I never said anything goes to waste.However if you are sending most of your corn crop off to be fuel what comes back for feed (DDGS) is only a small percent of what have would have gone to the livestock had it not been to the fuel plant first. My complaint is that without government subsidies and tax brakes there would be no one planting corn for the fuel . My operation is simple, I grow about 1100 acres of wheat, it is a part time job. Mostly I am a firefighter in California. I can not understand how, with modern equipment,growing and harvesting a crop takes more than 8 weeks a year. I have on farm storage for 6 years of production and can pay my all my bills from my job. With FSA marketing loans I can hold on to my wheat till I get the price I want. Feel free to insult the "uninformed/ignorant US public" but when they figure it out, all this all this USDA/FSA/NRCS payment stuff is over. If, without any subsidy, you can grow corn and sell it to a fuel plant more power to you.
